Amazon Linux 2 : mariadb (ALASMARIADB10.5-2023-001)

high Nessus Plugin ID 182017

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of mariadb installed on the remote host is prior to 10.5.9-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2MARIADB10.5-2023-001 advisory.

 A remote code execution issue was discovered in MariaDB 10.2 before 10.2.37, 10.3 before 10.3.28, 10.4 before 10.4.18, and 10.5 before 10.5.9; Percona Server through 2021-03-03; and the wsrep patch through 2021-03-03 for MySQL. An untrusted search path leads to eval injection, in which a database SUPER user can execute OS commands after modifying wsrep_provider and wsrep_notify_cmd. NOTE: this does not affect an Oracle product. (CVE-2021-27928)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'yum update mariadb' to update your system.
